This is virally spread from

reb2, whose icon selections I explain below the cut. I may not have done this were it not for the phrase "never-ending cycle of icon squee".

The LJ Icon meme rules:
1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Woo.

Butt	This picture of me and my butt was taken, if I don't me trick, in the spring of 2003 by maestro_live shortly before he broke up with me and moved out of the apartment we had shared for 1.5 years. It was one of a series that included dick shots, most of which really aren't very flattering. I use this icon now when flirting with a top: like porn star glamour shots that feature an actor's butt rather than his dick, this is stereotypically indicative of bottoming. It's basically offering up my butt, and it doesn't usually work.

Dark Crystal	I took this photo at Busch Gardens Tampa February 7, 2005. This was in an enclosed bird garden, and this was the oddest looking bird I saw all day. It reminded me of the Muppet birds from The Dark Crystal. I don't have a particularly reason to use this icon, but when it was new it was briefly my default.

Spiderman	In mid-July 2005 I drove to Montréal on a whim from Granville, Vermont, to spend one night between the "Gourmet Camping" event I attend every year (or try to) and the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. I had so much fun in Montréal that I decided to go back for their pride fest. I took this pic at the Adonis club on rue Ste. Cathérine on July 31, 2005. The Spiderman in question is totally nude; his entire costume is painted on his body. On the rare occasion when a post or comment touches on comic book matters, body painting, or Montréal, I employ this icon.

FSM	The Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe, and He can change your life if you only believe in Him. Spaghettus vobiscum. Obviously this icon is used for posts about religion, specifically how silly is the belief that one knows there is a deity and what that deity thinks about things. It is one of several religion-critical icons I have.

Naked Baby	Ah, naked baby. I can't remember the year, but I'm thinking it must have been 2003 or so, when a bunch of us maggotts descended upon bxiie's and rabidkitten's Vermont estate for a 4th of July party. For some reason, this tiny doll became a focal point for photography over the 3 days or so everyone hung out. As I recall there were jokes and allusions to some parents who had been arrested for child abuse for taking pictures of their infant nude. Another view of naked baby can be seen here. I'm not certain which of my friends took either of these pictures, but my best guess would be bxiie took the icon photo and our friend Rob took the one in front of the pitcher, since the pitcher obviously contains Robaritas. This icon is mostly for in-jokes with friends.
